T111v 11111 1 1 1 side of this 111,1 is recessed as seen 111 F1g. 1 to admit the tongues 11, th111 at the lower end of the 1 1111 1 being pivoted to the toe as at 2' and that at the lower 1 1111 111' the 1 111111 having a cross pin 2 movable in a slot. t which formed in the upper port on of the toe T. Tlns slot as shown extends transverselv through the toe.

and it extends 1111 a line radial to the pivot 1" as best seen in Fig.

1 The operation of this device is as follows: The handle A is thrown up into the clams l1 and the rod- 11 raised so that the toe stands as seen in Figs. 1 and 3. The extractor then brought into position above the cork K which it is desired to remove, and the point 7) of the toe T forced downward through the cork until the mouth or arms 7 of the bell Dlstrike upon the neck 1 of the bottle, at which time the parts stand as seen in Fig. 1. The lever J is now moved to an oblique position by swinging the handle A out of the claws L to the position shown in Fig. 2.

This causes the link F to turn on the pivot 11 and draw the rod P up 'ard slightly while the contact of the. faces of the jaws m and m simultaneously forces the rod H down avard slightly.

The result is that the pivot i of the toe is moved 2' simultaneously moves downwardas the slot 1 permits, and the toe T "as a whole is tilted from the full-11111 .111 position in Fig. 3 to that shown in dotted lines, the tilting being possible. because the toe at this time stands beneath the cork K within the bottle G. The

upward, while the pin between and its upper end and brace the bottle neck lever J now swung still farther around its pivot \V. with the result that its short arm and pivot 11- move upward rather than outward from between the arms I, and the link F is caused to move upward so that the rod l and with it the rod II travel upward. In this movement the upper side of the toe T soon contacts with corkK, and the latter is forcibly drawn from the mouth or bottle neck G.

hat is claimed as new is:

1. In a stopper extractor. the combination with a framework. a pair of rods slidably mounted therethrougln-and means for moving one rod slightly upward and the other rod slightly downward simultaneously and subsequently moving the first-named rod upward further: of a toe pivoted to the lower end of the tirstnamed rod having its lower extremity pointed, and slid-able connections the secondnamed rod.

2. In a stopper extractor, the combination with a framework. a pair of rods slidably mounted therethrough. and means for moving one rod slightly upward and the other rod slightly downward simultaneously and subsequently moving the first-named rod further upward; of a toe pivoted to the.

lower end of the first-named rod and having lts lower extremity pointed and its upper portion provided'with a transverse slot whose length is radial to said pivot. and a transverse pin 011 the lower end of the second-named rod loosely mounted in said slot. whereby the toe is rocked on its pivot by the relative movement .of said rods, for the purpose set forth.

In a stopper extractor, the combination with a pair of rods disposed side by side. a toe pivoted to the lower end of one rod. and a connection between the other rod and toe whereby the latter is turned on its pivot by the relative movement of said rods: of a framework including a bell adapted to emand having an upright hole through which saidrods are shdably mountedand a standard rising from said bell, a lever pivoted to the standard. a link pivotally connecting said lever with the upper end of the rod to which said too is piv- .a framework including a bell otcd. and means on the link for imparting a slight downward movement to the other rod when the lever is turned to raise the lil'stnamed rod.

4. In a stopper extractor. the ctmibination with a pair of rods disposed side by side. a toe pivoted to the lower end of one rod. and a connection between the other rod and toe whereby the latter is turned on its pivot by the relative movement of said rods: of adapted to embrace the bottle neck aml having an upright hole through which said rods are slid ably mounted and a standard rising from said bell. a lever pivoted to the standard. a link pivotally connecting said lever with the upper end of the rod to which said toe is pivoted. a jaw projecting laterally from said link alongside its pivot. and a second jaw projecting laterally from the secoml-named rod and adapted to coact with the lirst named jaw. for the purpose set forth.

5. Ina stopper extractor. the combination with a pair of rods disposed side by side. a toe pivoted to the lower end of one rod. and a connection between the other rod and toe whereby thelatter is turned on its pivot by the relative movement of .ll(l rods: of a framework including a bell adapted to cmbrace the bottle neck and having an upright hole through which said rods are slidably mounted and a forked standard rising from said bell and having claws at the upper end. of its arms. a lever between said arms and pivoted thereto between its ends. a handle at the upper end of the lever adapted to engage said claws when the lcver is parallel with thearms. a link pivotally connecting the lower end of the lever with the upper end of that rod to which the toe is pivoted.

and jaws on the link and on the other rod.

for causing the latter to move downward when the first-named rod is elevated by ilic movement of the lever. for the purpo.- e rl.

forth.
